They pound the mirror with a cane,

full management proved superior to all
the methods of feeding. 1t is plain that
no one breed is the producer OF the
''gilt-edge" butter, but that there is still
a wide field open for him who knows how
to produce it The 'gilt-edge" depends
upon the knowledge and care of the
dairyman more than upon the COW, as the
awards plainly show.

water is kept furiously boiling az a level
not much more than half the height OF
the asparagus, you may give II more than
double the usual time, which Is a great
advantage because the lower part is made

branches are thus cooked equally. For

Roney. four weeks after the death OF
her husband. Upon the arrival atthe
Roney homestead OF the newly-msrrIed
pair the husband, Frank Hall, was met
by one OF the Roney boys with q shot
gun and ordered to leave the place. Hall,
probably concluding that discretion was
the better part OF valor, took to his heels
and made himself scarce. There are
four sets Of children at the Roney place,
Mr.. Roney having been married three
times and the late Widow Roney
having been married before she became
Mrs. Roney, and there being living issues
OF each OF the marriages.
After Bridegroom Hall had been fred
on Saturday night from the Roney
homestead he went to the home OF Mr..
Frank Roney, one of the older boys.
where he was met by a half-brother OF
Frank Roney. who, with revolver in
hand. made a dash at He'll, and would
have fred had not Frank Koney pre-
vented him. Hall again vamoosed, and
the probabilities are that he will continue
absent, the air about the Roney place
not being conducive TO his health. The
Roney bows declare Hall shall not stay
there, as that is their home and they
propose that it shall remain so. At last
accounts the new-made wife was prepar-
ing to join her husband.

HOW SrAUFFER wAsTAKEN
4 Cigar-StOre THAT Looked Like a
Cisar.StOre. But Wasn't.

A New York special says: John II.
Staufier, of Harrisburg, came to this
city last October. He saw in n daily
paper an advertisement of cigar-store
for sale. The receipts were declared to
be twenty-five dollars daily. He an
swered the advertisement and received
reply from Benjamin NJ. jacobson,
asking him to call at tho place advertised
for sale, Mt 20 South street.
Staufer said jacobson told him
the daily receipts from the sales
averaged twenty-five dollars the
year round. Stauifer took possession of
the store on October 3lst last The re-
ceipts on that day were $50. On Novem-
Der I'd he paid 81 900 to jacobson as the
purchase price. Since that day the re-
ceipts have never exceeded 81 day.
Stauffer alleges that Jacobsons books
were doctored and that persons had
been employed to make purchases at the
store on October 3lst with money sup
piled by jacobson.
Staufler caused the arrest Of jacobson,
and the latter was arraigned at the
Tombs Police Court on charge Of grand
larceny. To-day Meyer jacobson, a
brother of the prisoner who was en-
ployed at the store as book-keeper, testi-
fed that the receipts at the store were
never in excess of IS daily, and that he
had found the books " doctored so as to
show larger amount of business than
was actually transacted. John Gavin,
John Murphy, Nathaniel Kelly, and
Daniel Sullivan testified that they were
supplied with money by jacobson to
make purchases on October 3lst. Fur
ther examination in the case will be held
ON Saturday.

Gigantic Human Rem aims

10y telegraph W thc DlspdtchJ
En- PAso, Tex, December Fossil
human remains have been found in the
Diablo mountains, a range just north of
the station OF Garlic, one hundred and
thirty miles east of III Paso, on the
Texas and Pacific railroad. The district
has been very little visited until lately,
when some rich silver deposits were
found in the range, which led 10 large
influx OF prospectors. The summit OF
the range is of limestone formation,
which is honeycombed in various places
by caves. In one of them has been
found stone implements. bone.needles,
pieces OF pottery, and other evidences of
human habitation. Bones OF extinct
species Of animals are numerous Among
this mass OF prehistoric remains was
found portion Of mans skeleton OF
gigantic size, consisting of the skull and
a portion of the vertebr@. The skull
shows enormous teeth in perfect state
OF preservation. These remains are IN
the possession Of MA. Osner, OF Garlic

large number OF betting agencies started
in the streets near the Chambers, their
business being as active as on a race
course.
NJ. Grevy was not affected himself by
the days eyents, but the members OF his
family were terrified by the shouts OF the
populace, and urged him not to delay
his resignation. NJ. Grevy has gone to
his home at Mont Sous, Vandrey. He
left Paris on the O'Clock express train.
There was q stormy discussion at the
meeting OF the municipal council to-day
on the action of the project OF the Seine,
who, at the order Of the Government, had
the underground passage leading from
the Hotel de Vile TO the police barracks
cleared and gave the keys to colonel
OF the Republican Guard. The project
explained that the Government was
determined to ensure the safety OF the
public edifices. Finally an order
of the day was adopted calling
on the project to deliver the keys
to the syndic Of the council and take no
further protective measures. The coun-
ell appointed delegation, consisting Of
NM. Endes, Turin, Goulee, and Roche,
to concert measures with the Radicals
for the protection of the Republic
against dangers which they believe
would menace it il Ferry should be
elected. The Republican party and
press are sparing no efforts to incite the
mob TO violence.
Paul de Roulede took no part in to-
days doings NJ. Basly, who was arrest
ed to-day, will be liberated speedily.
THE TBI-ooLoR HAULED DOWN.
The tri-color on the Elysee was hauled
down as soon as the message OF resigna-
ton had been read in Parliament. In
the lobby of the Chamber fnanciers in
terested in the Panama and Suez canals
made strenuous efforts to insure the cleo
ton of de Freycinet or Ferry, giving
PREFERENCE TO FERRY,
because it is thought he would more
likely be firm against the possible oppo-
sition by America to the loan guaranteed
by France, and might also be expected
to patronize the lottery loan.
NJ. Rouvier expressed himself last eve
ming that il Ferry was elected President it
would be his duty to see him safely housed
in the Elysee Palace. He was content he
would be able to do it, although it
would be no easy task. Pelletain and
other Radicals are credited with saying
that Ferry would have to wade through
blood to reach the Elysee.
Among the curious rumors current is
one to the effect that NJ. dc Freycinet a
year ago secretly entered the Roman
Catholic Church with view to his &C.
cession to the presidency.
The theatres were almost deserted to-
night.
Hotels patronized by foreigners are
rapidly being emptied. There were
large Withdrawals of bank deposits yes
terday.
Gayardie, Lemoinne, and Lebartard
supported Grevy in the Senate. and Gil
let, Guillat, and de Main supported
him in the Chamber. Deputies who
had advised the President not to resign
voted against him.
The Compile de Paris instructed the
members of Right to vote for General
Saussier before he knew that Saussier
had retired from the contest. He has
now sent fresh instructions.
